Typically, an LDAP integration is also part of a single sign-on implementation. The integration uses the LDAP service account credentials to retrieve the user distinguished name (DN) from the LDAP server. Given the DN value for the user, the integration then rebinds with LDAP with the user's DN and password. The password that the user enters is contained entirely in the HTTPS session. The integration never stores LDAP passwords. The integration uses a read-only connection that never writes to the LDAP directory.
LDAP has been around since the early 1990s and is a simplified subset of X.500 which has been around since the 1980s. LDAP is a staple of enterprise IT infrastructures for authenticating and storing data about users, and it's also successfully made the transition to Internet-scale platforms.
